This glamorous yet family-focused apartment epitomises the style of designers @humbertetpoyet with both classic and contemporary references. Functional and chic, the kitchen mixes Arabescato marble with green cabinets, black BassamFellows 'Tractor' stools and the 'Asterios' pendant light in bronze and frosted glass by Humbert & Poyet.⁠

Off-white cabinets and ivory-gray floors are combined with charcoal walls, countertops and decorative accents to create a chic and inviting cooking and eating space. The mix of shapes — diamonds in the backsplash, triangular light fixtures and hood vent, oval X-back bar stools — makes for a captivating display. Via

A large island covered in a charcoal-hued quartz countertop is the central hub of the kitchen. It provides plenty of prep space, dining for four and it’s also a nice spot to visit with the cook while they’re preparing a meal.

Floor-to-ceiling windows in the breakfast nook flood the kitchen with lots of natural light and warm ambiance.

A large cased opening connects the kitchen and breakfast nook to the spacious great room and staircase leading up to the bedrooms. The door off the breakfast nook opens to the upper deck, which has an enticing outdoor seating area.

Designed by homeowners Sabine and Paul, the kitchen combines stainless steel, acrylic and River Gold granite to create a modern palette, featuring stools designed by the couple, a pink Valentina Cameranesi sculpture on the island, cylindrical extractor and Sammode glass tube lights. Via

A statement slab of terrazzo by @dzekdzekdzek is all the decoration that’s needed in the kitchen of this Paris home. Its marble-flecked surface is softened by brass details, wooden floor-to-ceiling doors and a pop of green laminate.

This unique kitchen designed by @jakemoulson breaks with convention with its wavy worktop edge. It’s a good showcase for the wonders of concrete, a material which can be poured into a wide variety of shapes to sculptural effect.
